Senator Lacson's hesitation to file a libel case against Faeldon might be construed by his enemies as a sign of weakness.<br /><br />There are two videos shown below. The first is Lacson's interview with Pinky Webb on "The Source" where he explains why he is hesitating to file a libel case against Faeldon, and the second is Faeldon's accusation against Lacson.<br /><br />Please make a comment on what you think of Lacson's reason for not filing a case against Faeldon.

The road used to be well-lighted, but the addicts destroyed the night bulbs and making it terrifying for the residents who didn't have cars to walk home at night.<br /><br />In the five years leading to Duterte's election, the number of addicts grew. What used to be just a handful of addicts grew in number and filled the streets.<br /><br />Then Duterte became President and all the addicts and pushers disappeared in less than a week.<br /><br />For once I am really scared that addicts and pushers will reclaim the streets.<br /><br />Today, I see politicians taking advantage of the situation to make the President's war on drugs fail. If you've also noticed, the media&nbsp;has been dramatizing this isolated incident perhaps so that the Duterte's enemies will succeed.<br /><br /><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8927928106745576" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9251922112" style="display: block;"></ins><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8927928106745576" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9251922112" style="display: block;"></ins><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">F</span>or all you know,</b> the Yellowtards might just succeed in impeaching the president. How? Because most of the congressmen and women will easily abandon the president when they see it is politically in their favor. Among the congressmen, I think it is only Speaker Bebot Alvarez who is fiercely loyal to the President, most will probably dump the Duterte in a blink of an eye.<br /><br />So my question to you is, are you ready for the drug addicts and drug lords to return to our streets? If Duterte is removed, that is exactly what will happen. Our fears will come back.<br /><br />If you DO NOT want the drug addicts and drug pushers to return, then please share this blog so everyone will have a proper perspective. We are in a very delicate position because the enemies of the President are on the offensive because they see this moment as a vulnerable time for the Duterte.<br /><br /><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8927928106745576" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9251922112" style="display: block;"></ins><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8927928106745576" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9251922112" style="display: block;"></ins>Thinking Mindshttps://plus.google.com/116818894454354809861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460041562967877038.post-66360661940163813872017-08-25T23:12:00.001+08:002017-08-25T23:14:23.251+08:00Blood of Kian is in Kiko's hands because of the Pangilinan Law ~SHARE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VqaBoz9En4g/WaA71gfFhxI/AAAAAAAAOJE/LCKvhLGeLXEHl_q6Ix_01Ruur7nnbIncwCLcBGAs/s1600/th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="0" data-original-width="0" height="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VqaBoz9En4g/WaA71gfFhxI/AAAAAAAAOJE/LCKvhLGeLXEHl_q6Ix_01Ruur7nnbIncwCLcBGAs/s320/th.jpg" width="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sKiICcyThkU" width="560"></iframe> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: yellow;">For Duterte, the Pangilinan Law destroyed a whole generation of young Filipinos.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The blood of&nbsp;</span>Kian Loyd Delos Santos is in&nbsp;</b>Senator Kiko Pangilinan's hands.

The problem with being incompetent and working for the government is that the civil service makes it very difficult to fire a civil servant who is a moron.<br /><br />The second possibility, which of course has to be proven, is whether or not the PNA employee(s) was a&nbsp;yellowtard&nbsp;up to destroy the reputation of the Philippine News Agency and Sec. Martin Andanar.<br /><br /><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8927928106745576" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9251922112" style="display: block;"></ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});</script> <br /><br /><b>If the PNA employee was a yellowtard</b> up to destroy the PNA and Sec. Martin Andanar's reputation, was he or she a lone wolf saboteur or did he she have a boss?<br /><br />What is very interesting too is the timing of the <i>Dole logo embarrassment</i> which coincidentally came as the Andy - Tish Bautista scandal heated up.<br /><br />The Dole logo incident is not the first time embarrassing releases from the PNA has happened. This is actually the fourth boo-boo the Philippine News Agency made under the under President Rody Duterte's administration.<br /><br /><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8927928106745576" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9251922112" style="display: block;"></ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});</script> <br /><br /><ol><li>On May 15, it reported that <i>Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Assistant Secretary Epimaco Densing III </i>said 95 nations were "convinced" there are no extrajudicial killings (EJKs) in the Philippines. <br /><br />This was very different from what Densing really said: "After Senator Alan Peter Cayetano made also an overview of the true situation of the human rights situation in our country, including the anti-illegal drugs campaign. We were very confident that the 109 countries who attended the interaction, the UPR interaction with the Philippines, were convinced."</li><li>Then on May 27, PNA used a photo from the Vietnam war to accompany a report on the Marawi siege. <br /><br />The photo was misrepresented as having been taken in Marawi. Wikimedia Commons describes the photo taken in Vietnam – not Marawi – as "Troops of 'A' Company, 1st Air Cavalry Division, checking house during patrol".<br /><br /><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8927928106745576" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9251922112" style="display: block;"></ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});</script> <br /><br /> </li><li>&nbsp;The Philippine News Agency (PNA) is once again in hot water after posting an article that downplayed the historic ruling against China over the South China Sea on Sunday, August 6.<br /><br />The piece, originally posted as a commentary on China’s state-run news agency Xinhua, tagged the decision won by the Philippines in July 2016 at the Permanent Court of Arbitration as an “ill-founded award.”The PNA on Wednesday, August 9, took down the article after being criticized.</li><li>Finally, August 11, 2017,&nbsp;in a story titled ‘DOLE issues pay rules for 2018 holidays’ posted on their website, PNA used the logo of the&nbsp;&nbsp;Dole Philippines Inc. instead of the Department of Labor and Employment's logo.</li></ol>Right now the Yellowtards are having a fiesta using the four incidents to discredit the Philippine News Agency (PNA).<br /><br />You might ask&nbsp;what is the big deal with targeting Andanar and the PNA, well this is how it works. The PCOO or the Presidential Communications Operations Office&nbsp;is the voice of the president. If the voice of the PCOO is discredited the voice of the president too is discredited.<br /><br /><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8927928106745576" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="9251922112" style="display: block;"></ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});</script> Thinking Mindshttps://plus.google.com/116818894454354809861noreply@blogger.com0
